Tensioners

Working in partnership with Sparrows Group, Innovo offers robust and reliable hydraulic and electric drive tensioners ranging from 3 to 62.5Te.

Horizontal tensioners

Horizontal tensioner’s tracks are orientated in a horizontal plane to allow product to be laid in from overhead using a crane. The benefits of using a horizontal tensioner include:

Ease of access for overhead product initiation – the frame is lower in height than a vertical tensioner

Can accommodate greater side loads from products that are not spooled into or out of the tensioner in a straight line.

Vertical tensioners

Vertical tensioner’s tracks are orientated in a vertical plane to allow product to be placed in from from the side or pulled through with a leader line. The benefits of using a vertical tensioner include:

Reduced deck space

Can take greater vertical loads from product sag/bend.

4-track tensioners

4-track tensioners have tracks orientated in a vertical and horizontal plane. The benefits of using a 4-track tensioner include:

Better product load distribution and greater holding capacity

Higher tension loads can be taken by the machine with a shorter track length than with a 2-track machine
